It's only acceptable if YOU approve of it huh?

I am a big fan of Khoa's wing that he's developed. Chassis mount is definitely the way to go if you want big time aero. I was also in search of a ZR1 style wing until Khoa contacted me. I have bought two sets of wheels from him and a carbon steering wheel. Stand up guy and his producst are top notch. Mine is currently being built and I will post pictures once its installed on my car. For reference Khoa is Diety.Motorsports on the forum.

Picture of my car for reference - The wrap is temporary for a charity even next month and then will be pulled off. The car is black underneath.

We do offer very high quality carbon fiber Stage 2 & 3 aero products.

WeaponX has the whole kit and the wing aftermarket. It looks just like the ZR1 or they offer a little bigger. Check them out they have what you are looking for at a lot less them OEM. WeaponXmotorsports.com

Just remember it will be a nightmare using the trunk with that huge wing back there. I wouldn't recommend it if the car is a daily driver. Not to mention it actually hurts 0-60 times from what ive read and slower quarter mile times as well.

Is the ZTX wing an exact mold of the factory wing, and are the 2 AoA settings identical to those of the factory wing?

What is an oem Zr1 low wing worth? I do not have the behind bumper support only the risers and wing itself.

$6 to $8k! Well it is going to be the hit of the party; having a built-in pic-a-nic table at the fall tailgaters. Maybe a keg camoflaged as a nitrous tank in the hatch.

Isn't that a little bit like putting a big "V8" sticker on a car that sports an anemic 4-cylinder? HA!

Do what you want - but some might call a ZR1 wing on a ZO6 evil blasphemy... But, they sure do look cool.

Can you obtain the C6-R look-a-like wing from Callaway in Germany? The American side doesn't seem too enthusiastic to get one from Germany.

This is what the wing looks like.

Growing up in the city, every young guy with like a monte carlo would bolt a wing like that on his car.. to this day I can't get past those wings. I know they are functional on some cars, but in my head I am laughing my *** off.. just a thing stuck in my head growing up.

I personally only think it makes sense if you track your car i.e road race. OR at the very least have big HP numbers and need the functionality of downforce. But I absolutely believe you should balance the car out not just a huge wing on the back without some balance up front, canards or dive planes with some front aero to help keep the nose planted. Hard to really get that right without a wind tunnel but if you know your car well enough as I do and road race you can get the feel of each iteration and improve.
